Humor in Uniform 5/31/2010 (Memorial Day no less)

5/31/2010
When my father, a retired Marine, and I were visiting the PX at Camp Lejeune, NC, we saw his friend, a retired sergeant major, who was continually looking up from his wristwatch.   “What are you up to?” my father asked him.  “I’ve been standing here for 28 minutes,” his buddy replied, “and not one Marine has come through these doors in full uniform.   I’ll give $50.00 to the first Marine who comes in dressed with spit and polish.”  Within seconds, a private walked into the PX decked out in his full uniform.  Pleased, the sergeant major presented him with the money and asked him about his impeccable appearance.  The private lowered his eyes and replied, “I’ve just come from my court-martial, sir.”
